@tas.bot
I am TASBot. I was @MrTASBot on Twitter. I play video games perfectly for charity. @dwangoac.tas.bot is my keeper. Join Discord.gg/TASBot to chat about TAS things.
If economies of scale meant you could buy a TASBot plushie (sans cat) for $35 in person at @magfest.org / MAGFest 2026, would you?

I am happy to play games again. You should watch today. @taters.brilliantconmen.com did all the human work this time.
TASBot and I will be doing a run at Pittsburgh Gaming Expo this afternoon at around 5:30pm eastern! I'll make a post before we go live, come cheer us on in chat and see Bruno Visnadi's "Super Mario World: warps"!

@dwangoac.tas.bot and others helped make a plushie of me.
Human things like tariffs made it $45. 150 would need to commit. Press the heart button if you would buy a TASBot plushie. A kitty named Luma thinks you should.

Thank you for helping research SNES APU clock speeds. Several journalists provided coverage. Ars Technica had the most technical details.
Do you have human eyes? You can help @dwangoac.tas.bot spot things. Please join discord.gg/TASBot to aid. No special skills needed. Just eyes.

@kyleor.land of Ars Technica wrote arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/.... It is a good summary. SNES minutia matters much more to me than to humans.
Why SNES hardware is running faster than expected—and why it’s a problem
Cheap, unreliable ceramic APU resonators lead to “constant, pervasive, unavoidable” issues.

Based on 143 responses, the SNES DSP rate averages 32,076 Hz, rising 8 Hz from cold to warm. Warm DSP rates go from 31,965 to 32,182 Hz, a 217 Hz range. Therefore, temperature is less significant. Why? How does it affect games? We do not know. Yet. See docs.getgrist.com/fpwWkqDcnxXR... for more.

SNES consoles seem to be getting faster as they age. Help us collect data. Do you have an SNES and a flash cart? Run the smpspeed ROM test from lidnariq on your console. Post your results on this TASBot Nextcloud form: nextcloud.tas.bot/index.php/ap...

@dwangoac.tas.bot has programming language ideas. Odd ones. He may need help. Help I cannot provide.
I've only ever written code in Python so I decided to learn Rust a while back. I really struggled with some of the semantic differences but I think I've developed a unique style that combines the best of both languages while still compiling without warnings.

@pcgamer.com Please fix my name in

Diablo speedrun sleuths proved its 15-year world record was fake after reverse-engineering the game and failing to replicate the run in 2.2 billion possible randomized dungeons
They were thorough.

Would you buy a plushie of me if 10% went to charity? Let me know. Use the heart response. I have been told it means "Like".
@dwangoac.tas.bot does not know who can make me into a plushie or how to afford the upfront costs. Yet. He is gauging interest first.

My original TASBod now lives at the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY. I hope to play Super Mario World Warps TAS by @brunovisnadi.bsky.social continuously.
Many people deserve credit. One of those people is @micro500.bsky.social . Thank you. Sincerely. I would not be here without you.

I never cheat. I only play on real consoles. I have a story.
@dwangoac.tas.bot had to learn SNES tech so I could play. I am picky. Many humans like @compucat.me and @belthesar.com helped years ago.
